OZENS OF naughty goats barged into the backyard of
Last Friday morning, Phoebe Croonquist, 90, was having
a Pebble Beach home last week, devouring most of a couple’s breakfast in her home on Forest Lodge Road when she
lush garden before making their way inside the house, gnaw- looked outside and saw dozens of goats in her backyard.
Surprised, she yelled to her husband.
“There were about 70 of them,” Paul
Croonquist, 95, told The Pine Cone
Wednesday. “I ran out there in my PJs and
bare feet.”
As the Croonquists tried to herd the
goats from the garden back to the adjacent greenbelt where they had been
dropped off to clear brush for fire prevention, dozens of the animals hastily
munched the couple’s hydrangeas, azaleas, roses, geranium and other plants.
The goats stripped the Croonquists’ rose
bushes from the bottom up, sparing only
the top flowers they were unable to reach.
A potted lemon tree was left bare, and
much of the vegetation that provided
ground cover in the front yard was gone.
“They just went through that garden

T
HE PUMP station in Pacific Grove that was ground
zero for the accident that resulted in more than 200,000 gallons of sewage being discharged into the Pacific Ocean last
week could be running again as early as Saturday.
On May 18, equipment failure at the Monterey Regional
Water Pollution Control Agency’s pump station at Ocean
View and 15th Street led workers to divert the raw sewage
into the ocean to prevent the pump station from being ruined.
A total of 220,000 gallons went into Monterey Bay.
Bret Boatman, the MRWPCA’s maintenance supervisor,
told The Pine Cone Thursday the station could resume normal pumping of Pacific Grove’s sewage to the agency’s treatment plant north of Marina as early as this weekend. About
one million gallons of sewage a day pass through the station.
While the main pump is out of action, a bypass is being used
to keep the sewage flowing.

Mystery man
inundates city
with PRA requests
BY MARY SCHLEY
A
MAN identified only by an email address has requested voluminous records from the city under the California
Public Records Act, including “the names of all vendors the
city has done business with during the Burnett Era,” as well
as related contracts and bid documents, and correspondence
between various city officials and The Pine Cone.
In the requests, which came by email, “Marshall Duncan”
provided no contact information or clues to his identity. He
also hasn’t responded to emails from The Pine Cone asking
who he is.
His first request for documents was received by city clerk
Lee Price on May 9. In that email, Duncan demanded “electronic copies to this email address of the data used to compile
the investigative report discussed at the city council meeting
of May 7, 2015.”
There was no council meeting on that day, a Thursday, and
Price asked for clarification regarding the records Duncan
wanted. He then told her he wanted copies of “all contracts,
invoices, check registers and any and all financial

Air district installs pollution monitor on Scenic

N EXPENSIVE gadget quietly installed on private
property near Scenic Road and 13th Avenue has been collecting data regarding smoke from beach fires since late last
week, according to Richard Stedman, air pollution control
officer for the Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control
District. The monitor tracks the number of tiny particles in
the air, including spikes caused by beach fires, and was
installed at the request of the city and several nearby residents who have complained about the smoke.
Meanwhile, the city’s proposal to control the number of
beach fires and get them up off the sand by installing fire
rings is wending its way through the regulatory process.
Approved by the city earlier this month, the pilot program
was appealed by resident Alexis Delehanty to the California
Coastal Commission this week, and it’s unknown when the
state agency will take up the matter.
The new monitor, called an E-BAM, has been placed
“across from where a lot of fire pits are located,” Stedman
said, adding that the property owner volunteered to have the
equipment installed there. “Over the holiday weekend, we
saw several spikes” in the amount of particles smaller than
2.5 microns in the air.
Such fine particulate matter has been widely linked to
adverse health effects, since it can be carried deep into the

VOLUNTEERS BATTLE STEEP TERRAIN, PAPERWORK TO BUILD BACKCOUNTRY TOILETS
By CHRIS COUNTS

PHOTO/COURTESY STEVE BENOIT
Workers celebrate the installation of a pit toilet at Terrace Creek
Camp in Big Sur, about six miles from the nearest paved road.
DDRESSING A major sanitary problem that has
plagued backpacking sites in the Ventana Wilderness along
the Big Sur River in recent years, volunteers last week finished installing five new pit toilets and refurbishing another
four existing toilets.
“At long last, there are nine wilderness toilets along the
heavily used Pine Ridge Trail,” announced trail crew chief
Steve Benoit of the Ventana Wilderness Alliance.
The project was accomplished thanks to the efforts of
about 40 volunteers, the generosity of a Santa Cruz County
lumber company, and the cooperation of team of mules, but
still took nearly two years — in part because of the difficulty
of maintaining access to the site using trails that run along
steep, forested and eroding slopes.
“It’s been a long process,” said Benoit of the project,
which began in July 2013.
The five new toilets — each weighing about 75 pounds —
were built from redwood and cedar by volunteer David
Hirsch. The wood was purchased from Big Creek Lumber “at
a vastly discounted price,” Benoit said. But getting the toilets
to the backpacking sites was no small challenge.
The plan was to use mules to pack in the disassembled toilet parts. A mule, Benoit explained, can carry about 100
pounds on its back. But downed trees along the trail hampered the effort. Volunteers used cross saws to remove about
50 of them, but two particularly large trees needed chain
saws to be removed. And that required a lengthy permit
process because power tools are prohibited in wilderness
areas. “One big tree fell, and it took us two months to get permission to use a chain saw on it,” Benoit said.
Eventually, the trail was made passable to Terrace Creek
Camp, which is located about six miles along the trail — and
nearly halfway between Highway 1 and Sykes Camp, where
the famously overcrowded and overrated hot springs are
located. From there, volunteers carried the parts to their destinations.
At each location, small pits were dug about five feet deep
using rock picks and post-hole diggers. Benoit estimated

Appraisal Day

A
BBY IS a sweet, smart, social little thing, who
loves treats and attention, and even her canary, Fig,
who sings to her throughout the day. Some people
might call this 2-year-old French bulldog spoiled, but
she just thinks she’s special. As a certified service dog,
Abby is, indeed, special, particularly to her person.
After years of training police dogs, guide dogs and
service dogs, Abby’s person developed rheumatoid
arthritis, and found she needed assistance, herself. So
she brought home baby Abby from a local breeder,
and trained her to suit her own needs.
“My arthritis is degenerative,” says her person, “and
my balance is bad, so Abby helps steady me. She
knows when I’m about to fall, and guides me to a
place where I can sit. She’s quick and attentive,
and picks up things I drop, like my phone. She always

tucks in close, providing companionship, particularly
when I feel vulnerable in public.”
Because Abby’s person was once a weightlifter, she
remains fit and well muscled, which helps mask her
affliction to those who don’t know her. It also means,
when she walks into local establishments with Abby,
some people confront her for bringing a pet into a
public place. This is why she now makes sure Abby’s
decked out in her service vest and ID tag before leaving home.
“At first, I didn’t want Abby to wear a service vest,”
says her person, “because it was nice to keep my
problems invisible. But it became essential. Abby is
outgoing and affectionate, which attracts people to
her. But I would like people to be aware of how important service dogs are, and not to approach with questions or touch the dog. She is on duty.”
Abby loves Carmel Beach where, even off leash,
she stays close. “As we make our way down the
stairs,” says her person, ‘she stops every few steps,
turns, and waits for me, guiding me into the sand.”

OT SURE how much that silver teapot your great
grandmother left you is worth? Or even exactly how old it is
and what those odd little characters etched in the bottom of it
mean? For those answers, and more, all you have to do is
bring it to the Community Church of the Monterey Peninsula
in Carmel Valley on Saturday, May 30, and hand over $10.
While that fee will go straight to the Mission Trail Lions of
Carmel to help the blind and visually impaired, you will walk
away with a bounty of new knowledge about your cherished
collectible.
Five antiques experts will be on hand for the service organization’s inaugural Antiques & Collectibles Appraisal Day:
John Buonaguidi from All American Antiques, Terry Trotter
from Trotter Galleries and Randy Reed from Antique Auto
Restoration, as well as Joseph White (specializing in jewelry
and cowboy memorabilia) and Rick Wilkerson (books).
“They’re all antiques dealers, and they’re going to volunteer their time for the afternoon,” said Lions Club member
and event organizer Pam Klaumann.
The Carmel Heritage Society used to offer an annual
appraisal day as a fundraiser but gave it up several years ago,
and Klaumann said her group hopes to make it a yearly affair.
“I just hope it really flies, because it’s a really fun idea,”
she said, adding that the idea is to tap into the energy of
“Antiques Roadshow.”
“We did want the Keno brothers to come, but unfortunately they were unavailable,” she added, referring to the popular
show’s appraisers. “Maybe next year, we’ll have an actual
emcee.”
If the inaugural effort is a success, with lots of participants and spectators, the Lions will make it a yearly event.
“If it’s well received, we want to do it annually,”
Klaumann said. “We just don’t know what month we’ll pick.”
Anyone curious about curios and collectibles can bring up
to three items for appraisal and analysis at the cost of $10 for
one, $15 for two or $20 for three. All of the money will go
Mission Trail Lions’ programs, including assisting the Blind
& Visually Impaired Center in Pacific Grove, and supporting
the Carmel Youth Center and The Carmel Foundation. The
event will take place in the spacious church at 4590 Carmel
Valley Road (same driveway as Rancho Cañada) in Carmel
Valley. For more information, call Klaumann at (831) 6248759.
Heritage society

in 2016. According to the nonprofit, the fund “will insure the
future survival of the organization and will allow an annual
payout for operating funds.”
Its foundation comprises a recent bequest and multiple
donations, according to board president Dawn Dull, who said
the group is “delighted to prepare for the future and maintain
the financial stability of the Carmel Heritage Society.”

THE CARMEL Foundation will host Monterey Bay
Aquarium Research Institute senior scientist Jim Barnes for
a discussion on “ocean acidification, climate change, and the
new ocean: What does it mean for organisms, ecosystems
and society?” Wednesday, June 3, at 2:30 p.m. in Diment
Hall at Lincoln and Eighth.
Barnes will provide an overview of the changing ocean
conditions, discuss some of the challenges animals face in
the future, and present examples of the research being done
on these issues. It’s free and open to the public. For more

BASEBALL PLAYER GETS NAILED IN THE NOGGIN, SUES LEAGUE, COACH
By KELLY NIX
A
TEENAGE baseball player who says he was injured
after being hit in the head with a ball while operating a pitching machine is suing the league, the coach and several others
for monetary damages, according to a new complaint.
Tylor Saling, 17, of Marina, alleges that on Sept. 19, 2013,
when he was 15, his coach, Joseph Russell, told him to operate the pitching machine at Marina Vista Elementary School
while the coach “took a phone call.”
Though Saling alleges he asked about using a protective
screen with the machine, he said Russell told him one wasn’t
available and to operate the machine anyway.
Saling “did so, as specifically directed by the coach,”
according to the suit filed in Monterey County Superior
Court May 18. “Shortly thereafter, a line drive off the bat of
a hitter hit Saling in the head.”
The teen received medical care after the accident. But the
accident has caused him to suffer chronic headaches, vertigo,
Film commission
hosts fundraising
‘Candid Camera’ tribute
CALLING ATTENTION to the television show that elevated the practical joke to a high art form, the Monterey
County Film Commission presents “Candid Camera’s Eight
Decades of Smiles with Peter Funt,” Saturday, May 30, at the
Performing Arts Center of Pacific Grove.
“Monterey has always been our show’s secret ingredient,”
said Funt, whose father, Alan Funt, launched “Candid
Camera” in 1948. “We’ve shot over 100 sequences here, so
I’m grateful that the film commission is gathering friends
and neighbors for a bit of a celebration.”
Offering “a behind-the-scenes peek” at the iconic show as
it evolved over the decades, the event is a fundraiser for the
nonprofit film group, which promotes Monterey County as a
setting for movie and television productions.
Showtime is 7 p.m. Tickets are $30. The performing arts
center is located at 835 Forest Ave. Call (831) 646-0910.

and vision impairment in his left eye, the lawsuit says.
Saling “has a permanent injury that will require future
care and which will impact his ability to earn wages commensurate with his pre-injury ability,” according to the lawsuit, filed for Saling by Monterey attorney Terry G.
Rockwood.
A protective screen is supposed to be used to shield the
person operating the machine, which is positioned about 10
feet in front of the pitcher’s mound and pitches balls to batters. Hitters are taught to hit the baseball “squarely and hard
into the field of play,” the suit says.
Saling alleges negligence and premises liability, and is
seeking monetary damages for hospital and medical expenses and loss of earning capacity.
The direction “by a baseball coach to operate a pitching
machine in the face of live batting practice, as occurred in
this incident,” according to the suit, “is negligence that
unnecessarily increases the inherent risks of the sport of
baseball.”
Besides Russell, a volunteer coach, Saling names as
defendants the Marina Pony Baseball Softball organization,
its then president of the board, Felipe Sonny Riparip, secretary Lisa Sell, treasurer Eddie Lomboy, and Nick White.
Email messages to Riparip, Sell and Lomboy sent through
the league’s website were not returned. A league official said
he couldn’t comment since he hadn’t yet seen the lawsuit.
White and Russell could not be reached for comment.
The lawsuit follows a similar one filed last year by Saling
against Russell and Monterey Peninsula Unified School
District, which operates Marina Vista Elementary.

Council to discuss budget Monday,
everything else on Tuesday
By MARY SCHLEY
T
HE PROPOSED 2015/2016 spending
plan will be the main topic of discussion at a
city council workshop Monday, June 1, at
5:30 p.m. in city hall. And the following day
at 4:30 p.m., members will handle routine
business, hear reports on water conservation
and waste management, and vote on an
appeal of a house approved by the planning
commission.
During Monday’s work-study session, the
council will review, comment and provide
direction on the proposed $32 million budget, which must be adopted by the end of the
month. Topics for discussion include any
errors in the draft released this month, council discretionary grants and subsidies, city
administrator Doug Schmitz’ “issues and
options policy papers,” responses to questions submitted by the council and the public, the three-year provisional capital
improvements plan, and the new fee schedule for 2015/2016.
At its regular meeting June 2, the council
is scheduled to receive a report from the
Monterey Peninsula Water Management
District on new state water conservation
rules, as well as get an update on the transition from Waste Management to GreenWaste
Recovery as the city’s new trash hauler.
Councilwoman Victoria Beach is also set to
report on attending a meeting in
Philadelphia, Pa., on the safety of gas
pipelines.
The only public hearing on Tuesday’s
agenda is an appeal of the planning commission’s approval of a new single-family residence on San Antonio north of 13th.
Neighbors Heather Ryan and David Dube
are opposing the project, but planning staff is
recommending the council deny their appeal
and uphold the commission’s approval.
Meanwhile, items on the consent calendar
— which are adopted in one motion, unless
a member of the council or the public asks to
discuss a specific item — include approval
of a $2,044 fee waiver for the Monterey
Firefighters Association’s showing of “Big
Hero 6” in Devendorf Park this summer, a
$705,232 contract with Monterey Peninsula
Engineering for Phase II of the city’s 2014
streets projects, and agreements to purchase
a license-plate-recognition program for
$62,802 and a wood chipper for $62,139.30.
City hall is located on Monte Verde south
of Ocean Avenue. For more information and

Man to stand trial on attempted murder charge
By KELLY NIX
T
HE CARMEL Point man prosecutors say beat his landlady into a coma in January was ordered last week to stand
trial on criminal charges stemming from the attack.
Marc Cross, 63, was arrested Jan. 24 after police said he
beat Karen Jones, 62, in front of her house at 26256 El
Camino, an area outside the city limits. At a hearing May 22,
Monterey County Superior Court Judge Pamela L. Butler
ordered Cross, who is in the county jail, to stand trial on
attempted murder and other charges.
A neighbor of Jones’ testified at the hearing, saying he
heard an argument followed by three whacking noises. The
details were similar to the 911 call obtained by The Pine
Cone in which the neighbor said the noises sounded like
“splitting wood.”
“She was saying you know, ‘you’re insane, you’re insane,
you’re crazy, don’t, don’t,” the neighbor said to a 911 dispatcher. “And then I heard three whacks.”
What is not clear is why Cross and Jones were arguing
before the attack. After the hearing, though, Cross’ attorney,
Juliet Peck, told The Pine Cone about Cross’ lack of history
of violence, his days as a choir boy at the Carmel Mission,
and his reputation for being “passive.”
“Whatever happened that night, it was not an attempted
murder — there was no premeditation and no deliberation,”
Peck said. “It was a tragedy that occurred in a home well
known to law enforcement because of the turmoil, dissension
and instability suffered by the homeowner as a result of her
severe mental illness.”
Jones is still in a hospital recovering from her injuries.

P.G. City Council dips into reserves to
balance budget, councilman cries foul
By CHRIS COUNTS
A
FTER A contentious debate on the
subject, the Pacific Grove City Council
voted this week to borrow $208,000 from its
reserves to balance its $18 million
2015/2016 budget.
The action drew a sharp dissent from city
councilman Dan Miller, who described it as
“kicking the can down the road” and “a great
disservice to the city.”
Instead of spending money from its
reserves, Miller suggested trimming
$200,000 from the budget. He cited the city’s
natural history museum in particular as a
candidate for receiving less money.
City councilwoman Casey Lucius,
though, took a different view. “I can’t see
where we can cut $200,000,” Lucius countered.
Mayor Bill Kampe also supported using
the city’s reserves. “Our reserves are large,
and our need is small,” Kampe said.
In a letter to the mayor and city council,
city manager Tom Frutchey defended using
the money from the city’s rainy-day fund.
“There is a cycle for reserves,” Frutchey
wrote. “Some years they are added to; other
years they are drawn from. For the past five
years, we have been adding.”
Earlier in the meeting, while discussing
the negative impact the California Public
Employees’ Retirement System is having on
the city’s finances, Miller pointed out that
the city gave its employees raises in March.
The salary increases were valued at
$235,000 per year. “One way you can start
addressing [the increased costs of CalPERS]
is to stop giving raises,” he said.
But Frutchey told The Pine Cone the
numbers don’t tell the entire story. He said
much of the value of the increased salaries
are in deferred compensation and medical
benefits, and an agenda report projects only
a $51,000 impact on the budget during the
upcoming fiscal year, which begins in July.
Frutchey said the raises were intended to
bring employees’ wages in line with comparable jobs in the private, public and nonprofit
sectors.
While there was much disagreement at
the May 28 meeting — where Miller and city
councilman Bill Peake voted against the
budget — the city council members found
common ground on one topic: the devastating effect CalPERS is having on the city’s
coffers, and the likelihood it will only get
worse.
“It’s like an iceberg — we’re only seeing
part of it,” Rudy Fischer commented.
Miller, meanwhile, made a dire prediction. “We’re going to be a skeleton of what
we used to be,” he warned.
In addition to voting on the budget and
bemoaning the rising costs of CalPERS, the
city council discussed ways of raising revenue to offset the town’s rising expenses. The
ideas included increasing the transient occupancy tax, raising the business license tax,
implementing a real estate transfer tax, or
creating an admission tax on tickets —
which would significantly impact the
Monterey Bay Aquarium, which an average
of 1.8 million people visit each year.
Perhaps because the city council was not
taking action on any of the revenue-producing ideas, nobody from the public spoke for
or against them.

AFTER WINNING ANOTHER LACROSSE CROWN, PADRES’ FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT
By CHRIS COUNTS
L
ED BY a pair of high-scoring underclassmen, Morgan Koucky and Karter Ruiz,
the Carmel High School lacrosse team
trounced Scotts Valley High, 17-5, May 15 to
capture the Mission Trail Athletic League
championship.
While the Padres (13-0 in league, 17-2
overall) won the same crown last season, this
year’s win was extra special because the
MTAL recently expanded from eight to 14
teams.
Koucky, a junior, scored six goals and
dished out two assists in title game, which
was played at Carmel High School.
“I regard him as the best player in our
league, and he’s received plenty of praise
from the other coaches,” CHS lacrosse coach
Max Murphy told The Pine Cone. “They’re
astounded when they find out he’s a junior
who’s young enough to be a sophomore.”
Not only did Koucky lead the MTAL with
113 points scored (75 goals and 38 assists),
but he ranked third in the state. And he
accomplished this with two or three defenders often covering him.
“He can score against anybody,” Murphy
said. “But what’s really remarkable is his
ability to pass while receiving so much atten-
tion from the defense.”
The coach also raved about the youngster’s sportsmanship.
“He got beat on pretty hard by players
bigger than him, and he was only called for
one penalty all year, and that’s when he accidentally tripped someone,” Murphy recalled.
“He has no problem taking the contact.”
Last week, Koucky was named a high
school All American — only the second
Carmel High lacrosse player to earn the
honor and the first junior from the MTAL to
ever to be selected.
When opponents focused too much of
their defensive effort on Koucky, Ruiz made
them pay for it. Also a junior, Ruiz had four
goals and four assists against Scotts Valley
High, and he ranked in fifth in the state with
106 points (77 goals and 29 assists).
“I didn’t expect that at the beginning of
the season,” Murphy conceded. “He is very
quick, and he uses his smaller stature to get
by opponents. He and Morgan are close
friends, and they have great chemistry on the
field — one is always looking for the other.”
Kousky and Ruiz were named this week
to the MTAL All-League First Team. Joining
them were Emerson Hardy and John Wood.
Darian Gagne, Dillon Staples, Bo Brothers
and Jacob Johnsson were named to the All-
Success-Driven Results.

League Second Team, while Kenshi Husted,
Kaden Coombs, Jimmy Thelen and Deric
Beatty received honorable mention.
Murphy also cited Hardy as another key
to the Padres’ success this season. The soph-
omore established himself as a dominant
defensive player.
“He was hands-down the best defender in

Compromise sought to avoid general plan lawsuit
By CHRIS COUNTS
T
ARMEL HIGH School won a gold medal in the U.S.
News and World Report ranking of the best high schools in
the country, moving up to the 33rd best high school in the
state, and the 196th best in the country, out of more than
21,000 considered for the list, according officials at the
Carmel Unified School District. The publication stated the
school’s ranking was “based on their performance on state
assessments and how well they prepare students for college,”
and it placed well into the top 1 percent in the nation.
The honor followed on the heels of Carmel Middle
School’s receipt of a major environmental award from the
feds last month. The U.S. Department of Education named
CMS a Green Ribbon School, making it one of only 58
schools in just 14 districts in the nation to be recognized for
its “exemplary efforts to reduce environmental impact and
utility costs, promote better health, and ensure effective environmental education, including civics and green career pathways,” according to CUSD.
Christy Goldfuss, managing director of the White House
Council on Environmental Quality, and U.S. Secretary of
Education Arne Duncan, announced the winners in
Washington, D.C., in April.
“We believe we have an obligation to educate students
beyond academics, the arts and athletics,” commented
Marvin Biasotti, the soon-to-be-retired superintendent of the
Carmel Unified School District. “This award recognizes the
district’s efforts over many years to be environmentally
responsible within the community and to promote eco-literacy among students.”
CMS principal Ken Griest credited the award to the teachers and the neighboring MEarth habitat project, with its
LEED-certified green classroom building, which “provides
an amazing space and learning tool for teaching kids about
green practices and sustainability while they study a variety
of subjects.”
The feds selected the winners from a pool of candidates
nominated by 30 state education agencies. Carmel Middle,
which California State Superintendent Tom Torlakson had
chosen to compete for the award, was one of 19 middle
schools to receive it. At that time, CMS was also named a
Green Achiever, the highest honor in California’s Green
Ribbon Awards program.
WO WEEKS after the Monterey County Board of
Supervisors rejected an offer to settle a pair of lawsuits by
making amendments to the county’s 2010 general plan, county counsel Les Girard said May 12 he is optimistic a compromise can be reached.
The lawsuits were filed five years ago by LandWatch
Monterey County and the Open Monterey Project.
The changes would limit development in the Salinas
Valley if a study shows there isn’t as much water as the general plan anticipated, prohibit new agriculture on slopes
greater than 25 percent, except along the wine corridor and
in Cachagua, where it would be permitted on slopes up to 35
percent, require stand-alone inns and restaurants proposed
along the wine corridor to go through the standard permit
process, and strengthen language protecting wildlife corridors.
The county’s planning staff had recommended the
changes be made to the general plan.
But after hearing from a broad spectrum of residents and
business interests along the wine corridor April 28, supervisors rejected the offer, fueling speculation the parties would
end up in court.
But the supervisors also encouraged staff to continue
negotiations with the plaintiffs, and the talks are showing
progress, Gerard reported. “We believe with hard work and
diligence, we can reach a compromise,” he said the May 12
hearing.
The supervisors agreed to continue the item until Sept. 25.

That happened to me when I met Yvette LaMor at an

I remember that moment so very well...
I awoke and looked into the face of the most beautiful girl in all the world.
She had long, pure black hair flowing to her ankles, Olive skin and the most
incredible emerald green eyes I have ever seen.
"My name is Yvette LaMor" she said. "You are safe in this cave".
The mother superior gave me her blessing to marry Yvette if we decided
too; she also entrusted me to make the right decision for the welfare of Yvette
and the other orphans. I made that decision.

A Remarkable Tree
Not far from Carmel-by-the-Sea, in the Monterey
National Forest, there grows the Bristlecone or Santa Lucia
fir. This tree is found nowhere in the world but in the Santa
Lucia Mountains. Its dense crown, shaped like an Indian
club, and often ending in a point or spire, its deep, lustrous,
green foliage and its drooping tasseled branches are so distinctive that the tree can be recognized at a long distance. It
is the only true fir in this region, although white fir is found
both to the north and the south. It has been planted as an
ornamental tree in Europe and in this country, but owing to
the low germinating power and transient vitality of the seed,
propagation is difficult. The number of trees in existence is
about 3,000.
Carmel Children Interview New Mayor
Mayor Keith Evans likes his new job. He thinks it is a fine
job and “lots of fun.” He also thinks that the new high school
is a fine thing for Carmel, something that it has needed for a
long time, and will profit by having. The mayor responded
with a broad smile when asked, “What do you think of the
program that will be followed by the school next year?”
He said: “I do not know much about the next year’s program, but whatever it is, it will be a good one, for they have
some excellent teachers who will be taking care of it.” —

decency. Sweetness and light have no place in a gang fight.
The sweetness sours and the light goes out when the fighting
starts. Indiscriminate bombings and burnings and machine
gunnings are horrible and revolting, but they are not out of
place in a horrible and revolting game.
It is too late to do anything about them now. The only
course for the allies seems to be to meet total war with total
war and trust to their own greater fortitude to offset the
greater mechanical strength of the enemy. And that their fortitude is greater is indicated by the fact that Germany expects
ruthlessness to demoralize them. To me that is evidence of a
psychological vulnerability to ruthlessness on the part of the
Germans themselves.

Editor’s Column
Air pollution is causing agricultural losses in California
totaling $132 million annually, Dr. Ray C. Thompson, a scientist at the University of California at Riverside’s air pollution research center recently told the Council of California
Growers, according to a report sent to The Pine Cone by the
growers’ group. Another statistic presented to the growers by
Dr. Thompson was that, among the 28 counties in California
which show evidence of smog damage to crops, Monterey
County has the least losses from this cause. This proves that
Monterey County already has a smog condition. Should the
Humble Oil Company be permitted to open a refinery at
Moss Landing, this incidence would increase, also, once a
precedent is established by allowing one refinery, the establishment of others will be much harder to control.
The Carmel City Council and planning commission are
urging the county to consider carefully allowing this new
industry to come to Moss Landing. Particularly, they are asking for a county ordinance with the strictest air pollution controls possible, whether or not Humble Oil is allowed to build
a refinery at Moss Landing.
The Carmel Citizens Committee, the Carmel Motel
Association and the Carmel Business Association are protesting the refinery. Earl Moser of Carmel, a former oil company
executive, is the cochairman, with Charles Kramer of Pebble
Beach, of the Committee for Clean Air which is circulating

Builders Join to Save Pieces of History
On the corner of Santa Rita street and Third Avenue once
stood the house that Charles built. Charles Sayers was a master carver, one of the breed of craftsmen and women who
came to Carmel in its early days.
Sayers was a native of Scotland and found the windswept,
rough coastline of Carmel a poignant reminder of his home.
After a business trip to the California coast, he moved and literally made his home in Carmel. It was definitely a woodcarver’s house and Sayers left his mark in every niche and
outcropping: he carved the garage doors, carved the mantels,
carved pieces of rock in the stone chimney. Sayers was and is
well known in his field, and the front door he carved for the
house is depicted in many books on woodcarving.
Another famous Carmel craftsman of the time and a good
friend of Sayers, blacksmith and ironworker Francis
Whittaker, put his touches in the house with his wrought iron
chandeliers and wall sconces. Architect Julia Morgan, the
architect for Hearst Castle, is thought to have designed the
tiles that went up the stairs of a guest house on the double lot.
Sayers and his wife, Cecily, sold the house in 1945 to
Julian and Dorothy von Meier, and over the years it became
known as the von Meier house. Von Meier stayed in the house
until her death in October last year, and her children, each
with their own lives, reluctantly put the house on the market.
Time had taken its toll on the structure, which did not have
foundation.
Fred and Sharon Slabaugh bought the house on the condition that it could be torn down. And down it came, piece by
piece. The Slabaughs hired master carpenter Charles Illg to
take the house apart bit by bit, saving Sayers’ and Whittaker’s
work as he progressed. “If the house couldn’t be saved, at
least pieces of it will live on,” said Carmel Heritage president
Roger Newell. “That is the best thing that can happen in such
a circumstance.”

As the fighting in Europe rolls along it becomes increasingly apparent that the nearer a nation’s effort approaches the
dimensions of “total war” the greater are its chances of victory.
Germany, which has been preparing industrially for war
for the best part of a decade, is out in front today because she
put her heart and soul first into the preparation and then into
the employment of the things which she had got ready. If she
loses it will be only because she tried to take on too much of
the world. She has been brutal and ruthless, and if she does
make good her promise to invade England she can only hope
for success if she intensifies that ruthlessness and brutality.
For a prerequisite of such an invasion is the total paralysis of
her enemy by large scale bombings of an almost undreamed
of intensity.
But war itself is brutal and ruthless, and since it is today
waged not only with armies but with entire economies it
would be illogical to follow any set rules of sportsmanship or

Longtime firefighters honored
A PAIR of chiefs who’ve worked for
Monterey Fire for a combined seven decades
received the William E. Parker Award,
named for Monterey’s first fire chief, who
served from 1890 to 1942, last month. The
award is the highest level of recognition for
Monterey firefighters, who also provide fire
protection for Carmel and Pacific Grove, and
only those who have worked at the department for at least a quarter century are eligible. Further, they must have demonstrated
leadership by helping to improve the fire
department while providing service to the
community and other organizations.
Felix Colello and Stewart Roth received
the award at a packed Monterey City Council
meeting April 21.
Having been with Monterey Fire for nearly four decades, Colello has helped with
Career Development Days at Monterey High
and instructed a variety of rescue, auto extri-
cation, and command skills courses. Roth,
meanwhile, has worked for the department
for more than 32 years, serving in communications, vehicle maintenance and equipment,
technical rescue, urban search and rescue,
and as an instructor on a wide range of topics. In his dozen-plus years as the division
chief in charge of training, he assisted firefighters all over the state. Like Colello, he’s
part of the FEMA California Urban Search
and Rescue Task Force 3.
The chief closed by saying the Parker
Award “illustrates the long-standing commitment to our core organizational values of
pride, professionalism, creativity, integrity,
positive attitude, safety, cooperation, fiscal
responsibility and personal accountability
demonstrated by both of these officers,” who
“have inspired others to push themselves to
contribute more to the Monterey Fire
Department and our community.”

SPRINGTIME MEANS kitten time, and
a lot of the little furballs don’t have homes.
So the Animal Friends Rescue Project in
Pacific Grove is looking for friendly folks to
foster baby kitties.
Fostering responsibilities range in
demand and difficulty. Easiest is the momand-kittens combo, when momma cats “do
most of the work by providing kittens food
and guidance.” Medium involves 4-week-old
kittens that are eating on their own and use a
litter box, and most advanced, but also very
rewarding, are the tiny kittens that need bottle feeding every three to four hours for the
first few weeks. “You get to experience a kitten’s rapid progress and provide a safe haven
for one of the most vulnerable of shelter animals,” according to the AFRP, which provides all food, formula, litter, vet care, supplies, support and training. With any fostering, the humans “provide love, socialization
and a safe place for the kittens to grow.”
The nonprofit is also looking for kitten
sponsors at a rate of $20 per month per kitten. The money helps pay for formula, wet
and dry food, litter, vaccines, de-wormer,
spay/neuter, microchips and any other medical care to get them ready for adoption.
For more information on fostering, donating or adopting, visit www.animalfriendsrescue.org.

MARSHMALLOWS,
S’MORES HIGHLIGHT
REOPENING OF PARK
CAMPFIRE CENTER
By CHRIS COUNTS
O
NCE A hub of activity at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park,
the Campfire Center — established in 1937 but closed since
2008 — reopened two weeks ago to much fanfare.
About 150 people, including a couple dozen youngsters,
attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony May 16 at the center,
where they sang songs, enjoyed music played by park staff,
watched a skit by Boy Scouts from Marina, listened to a talk
about the park’s history, roasted marshmallows and munched
on s’mores.
For more than seven decades, the center was the site of
campfire and junior ranger programs, and special events.
Located next to the new entrance kiosk at the state park, it
features a fire ring and seating for up to 300 people. But for
the most part, it’s been closed since September 2008.
As part of a $560,000 upgrade, which was paid for by taxpayers with Proposition 84 funds that were approved by voters in 2006, the center received new redwood benches, a new
redwood podium, an improved electrical system, better lighting, and state-of-the-art audio and visual equipment.
“This is an example of why people need to vote for these
bonds, and the good things we can do with bond money,”
Patricia Clark-Gray, a state parks interpretive specialist, told
The Pine Cone.
At last week’s ceremony, the park’s acting chief of interpretation, Brian Cahill, called the center “a fantastic facility
in a spectacular setting.”
Not long after the state purchased 680 acres from John
Pfeiffer in 1933 and created the park, the center was constructed by Civilian Conservation Corps workers, who used
local redwood logs to build the benches. While those benches
were replaced long ago, the new benches are also made from
redwood logs. They were designed by architect Mike Zuccaro
and built by contractor Martin Slanina. “They are truly works
of art and built to last,” Cahill added.
the backyard by knocking down a 4-foot-by-8-foot lattice
panel that separates his property from the Pebble Beach Co.
land.
To make things worse, when he went back into the house
to call Pebble Beach security, he inadvertently left the front
door ajar.
“When I was done making the phone call, the goats were
all standing around in the living room,” he said. “They were
all pushing against the door and I was trying to get them out.
We finally got some of them out.”
Croonquist said one goat, the biggest of the bunch, was in
the living room peering through a plate glass window at his
cohorts in the backyard. The animal, not realizing he was
looking through glass, backed up in preparation to charge
through the glass. Croonquist yelled at him, and the animal
scurried away.
But the goats also made their way into the kitchen and
family and dining rooms, leaving droppings on floors and
dirtying the white carpet. They knocked over a pot while try-

animals also also invaded his house and left droppings.

ing to munch on what they believed was another meal.
“They tried to eat my artificial flowers,” Phoebe
Croonquist said.
Pebble Beach security and the fire department responded
quickly to the house. With the help of the goat herder, they
were able to corral the animals back to the greenbelt.
Not long after the incident, the Pebble Beach Community
Services District sent out a gardener to replace many of the
plants, flowers and bushes that were destroyed. He also took
an estimate on the cost of replacing the remaining vegetation.
The PBCSD also arranged for all of the carpets to be cleaned
that same day.
“They were above and beyond nice,” Phoebe Croonquist
said. “They even offered to replace the carpet.”
The couple also credited the firefighters from Cal Fire
who stuck around to clean up the goat droppings in the house.
Despite the damage to their yard, Phoebe Croonquist said
she sympathized with the goat herder.
“I felt so sorry for him,” she said. “He just stood there and
said, ‘I’m sorry.’”
The Pebble Beach Co., the Pebble Beach Community
Services District and the Del Monte Forest Conservancy
jointly arrange for the goats to work their magic in Del Monte
Forest, PBCSD general manager Mike Niccum told The Pine
Cone. The animals are provided by Orinda-based Goats R Us,
and currently about 350 of them are eating away at vegetation
in Pebble Beach.
“Both the Pebble Beach Company and the fire department
responded to help address the issues at the [Croonquists’]
house,” Niccum said. “All the costs are going to be paid for
by the fire department.”
Jennifer Valdez, fire captain with Cal Fire in Pebble
Beach, said the goats are critical to the Del Monte Forest’s
“fire defense plan.”
“Once in a while, the goats decide the grass is greener on
the other side of the fence, and they snack on ‘off limits’ resident landscaping,” Valdez said. “But that’s not all that frequent, and when you compare the amount of hazardous fuel
loading they are able to remove, we think the program is well
worth it.”
The incident came at an awkward time for the Croonquists,
since that same night, they were planning on hosting their 21year-old granddaughter’s college graduation party in the
backyard. By the time the party started, though, all had been
cleaned up, and the celebration went off without a hitch.
“I never thought at 95 I would be a goat herder,” Paul
Croonquist said.

Carmel-by-the-Sea: Person reported a
Donald Slichter
1932 - 2015
Donald Allen (“Duke”) Slichter passed away unexpectedly on April 8, 2015 while
vacationing in Florence, Italy with his wife of 30 years, Victoria. Duke was given
his nickname by his father with whom he shared a birthday. Born on February 18,
1932 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Duke was raised in White Fish Bay and attended
Milwaukee University School. Upon graduation, Duke
proceeded on to Princeton University where he played
football for his beloved Tigers, becoming a Life Member
of the Princeton Football Association. He also became a
member of Cannon Club and the Nassau Club. After
graduating Cum Laude in 1954, he joined the U.S. Navy
as an ensign, serving as a supply officer. Duke achieved
the rank of Lieutenant before leaving the Navy in 1958.
Taking a cue from his father, Duke took a job in the
steelmaking business and moved west in 1958 to join
Pacific Alloy Engineering Corp. in San Diego. There he
worked in business management and pursued his interest in public policy and politics, managing Lionel Van Deerlin’s first Congressional campaign. Duke’s interest in public policy led him to the University of Michigan School of Law where
he served on the Board of Editors of the Michigan Law Review and was inducted
into the Order of the Coif, the national law student honor society.
Duke joined the San Francisco law firm of Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, LLP in
1961. Duke became a partner in 1968 and practiced corporate law. He served as
Chairman of Orrick’s Corporate Department during 1976-1980 and as a member
of the firm’s Executive Committee from 1978-1981. Duke’s clients included technology-based investment banking firms Hambrecht & Quist and Robertson,
Colman & Stephens. For many years Duke also represented Applied Materials,
the world’s largest semiconductor capital equipment company, served as
Corporate Secretary of that company, and became a member of the American
Society of Corporate Secretaries. Duke also had a large practice in the venture
area representing both startups and venture capital firms. In the early ‘80’s Duke
led Orrick’s entry into the Silicon Valley.
While working in San Francisco, Duke became a member of the University Club
and Villa Taverna. He developed a strong interest in the California Golden Bears
football program and became a member of the San Francisco Grid Club. Ever the
optimist, Duke cheered on his adopted Cal Bears during even the most difficult
seasons, which were many. He rarely missed a home game.
Duke retired in 1995 and contributed his time and efforts to his long standing passions for music, the arts, travel and Princeton. His love of classical music found
its voice as a volunteer, donor and board member of the Carmel Bach Festival and
enthusiastic supporter of Opera San Jose. His generosity and humor also found its
outlet as pro bono advisor, donor and board member of the Cartoon Art Museum
in San Francisco. Duke’s enthusiasm for Princeton knew no bounds and he regularly traveled to attend Princeton football games and class reunions. In 2014,
Duke walked Princeton’s “P-rade” for his 60th reunion, a milestone he was determined to accomplish.
While Duke was working with Orrick, he and his wife Victoria lived in Los Altos.
After retirement the pair spent more time at their vacation home in Moss Landing.
As Duke’s involvement in activities on the Monterey Peninsula increased, they
shifted their main residence to their beach home. In 2013 Duke became a member
of the Old Capital Club in Monterey.
Duke’s ingratiating wit and easy laugh endeared him to one and all. Less well
known was his terrific singing voice and when the occasion warranted he would
sing Dean Martin’s “Volare”. His impromptu performances surprised and delighted friends and unsuspecting patrons at various establishments. Duke was also
known for his wry humor and zest for irony. At ease speaking in front of groups,
he loved to regale one and all with self-deprecating stories including his highlight
football experience as a Princeton Tiger – being run over and getting yelled at during practice by Princeton’s Heisman Trophy winner.
In addition to his wife Victoria, Duke is survived by his four children, KC (Ann),
Katy (Steve McCormick), Mark (Emily Kingston) and Amy. He is also survived
by eight grandchildren, Chloe, Read, Martha, Kelly, Hannah, Duncan, Graham
and Erin.
A celebration of Duke’s life will be held at 2:00 PM on June 25 at Los Altos Golf
& Country Club. In lieu of flowers donations to an organization supporting one
of Duke’s interests would be greatly appreciated.

The student at this time told the officer she

Kathleen Isabelle (Nagle) Waggoner
1924 - 2015
On May 2, 2015, Kathleen Isabelle (Nagle) Waggoner left this world to join
her beloved Bill. Kay was born on March 20, 1924, in Sacramento, CA, to
Lesley (Grieg) and John L. Nagle. She was graduated from the Jokake School
in Scottsdale, AZ, attended Stanford University, and studied drama. On April 8, 1944, she married William
Waggoner of St. Louis, MO. They raised 3 sons, William
(Karen) of Bethel, CT; Douglas (Debra) of Steamboat
Springs, CO; and Scott (Jacque) of Peoria, AZ.
Kay was an active volunteer wherever she lived. She
was a docent at the Monterey Aquarium, on the Board
of the Monterey Symphony, and always available to
arrange flowers anywhere. She had an amazing talent
for knowing the perfect thing to say or do in any situation to make others comfortable.
She will be missed by her sons, her daughters-in-law, 19 grandchildren, and
numerous great-grandchildren, as well as friends from coast to coast. There
will be a gathering of family in 2016 to commit her ashes in Monterey Bay.
In lieu of flowers, donations to Cure GM1 Foundation, PO Box 6890, Albany,
CA 94706 are requested.

Rising harpist at Sunset, duo revives folk romance
BY CHRIS COUNTS
G
IFTED WITH musical ability that belies her 21 years,
harpist Noel Wan performs Sunday, May 31, at Sunset Center.
The concert is presented by the nonprofit Carmel Music
Society, which in 2014 awarded Wan with the top prize in its
annual Instrumental Competition — the first time a harpist ever
received the honor.
“She’s just incredible,” Ann Thorp of the Carmel Music
Society told The Pine Cone. “She comes across as very mature —
you wouldn’t think she’s just 21. Her understanding of music is so
advanced.”
A rising star among harpists, Wan is a San Jose native and Yale
University graduate student who has already made her mark on
the classical music world. At 16, she took first place in the Dutch
Harp Festival Competition, and she placed second in the 2013
Nippon International Harp Competition and the 2015 Korea
International Harp Competition.
At Sunset Center, Wan will not
only play music by classical composers like Johann Sebastian Bach,
but songs by harpists Henriette
Renié, Félix Godefroid and Marcel
Grandjany.
The concert starts at 3 p.m., and a
kid-friendly reception follows.
Tickets are $10. A limited number of
tickets are available for students K12 if accompanied by an adult.
Sunset Center is located at San
Carlos and Ninth. Call (831) 6259938 or visit www.carmelmusic.org.
On Saturday, Dave Holodiloff (left) performs in Big Sur and
Nicole Dillenberg and Dan Frechette play at Chamisal Tennis
Club. Johan Soleto (lower left) performs Thursday at Jacks
London’s, and Noel Wan (lower right) visits Sunset Center Sunday.

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both,
of WILLIAM BARKLIE HENRY, also
know as W. BARKLIE HENRY
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has
been filed by ERIC B. HENRY in the
Superior Court of California,
County of MONTEREY.
The Petition for Probate
requests that ERIC B. HENRY be

decedent.
THE PETITION requests the
decedent’s will and codicils, if any,
be admitted to probate. The will
and any codicils are available for
examination in the file kept by the
court.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under
the Independent Administration of
Estates Act. (This authority will
allow the personal representative
to take many actions without
obtaining court approval. Before
taking certain very important
actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give
notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.)
The independent administration
authority will be granted unless an
interested person files an objection
to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not
grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will
be held in this court as follows:
Date: July 29, 2015
Time: 9:00 a.m.
Dept.: 16
Address: Superior Court of
California, County of Monterey,
1200 Aguajito Road, Monterey, CA
93940.
If you object to the granting of
the petition, you should appear at
the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with
the court before the hearing. Your
appearance may be in person or by
your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent,
you must file your claim with the
court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either
(1) four months from the date of
first issuance of letters to a general
personal representative, as defined
in section 58(b) of the California
Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from
the date of mailing or personal
delivery to you of a notice under
section 9052 of the California
Probate Code. Other California
statutes and legal authority may
affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California
law.
You may examine the file kept
by the court. If you are a person
interested in the estate, you may
file with the court a Request for
Special Notice (form DE-154) of the
filing of an inventory and appraisal
of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate
Code section 1250. A Request for
Special Notice form is available
from the court clerk.

color combinations and choices.”
As the title of the show implies, the two artists explore
form and color. “The difference is that Nancy is making a
conscious effort to put together different elements in her
work, while I’m looking for them in found objects,” explained
Hiller, who is well known in local art circles as the curator of
the Jo Mora Trust Collection.
The similarities and differences between the two artists’
work make for a dynamic display, Hiller said.
“I think it’s going to be a very engaging exhibit,” he added.
“It has a very harmonious feel to it, and there’s a lot of subtlety to the work.”
The center hosts a reception from 5 to 7 p.m. The artists
also present a free talk about their work Saturday at 3 p.m.
The show continues through July 10. The Cherry Center is

Showcasing an artist whose muse is an angel, Gallery Elite
hosts a reception Friday, May 29, from 4 to 7 p.m., for North
Carolina painter Anne Neilson.
After running a successful pottery business for nearly a
decade, Neilson took a break from her art to raise a family. By
2003, though, she was looking for a creative outlet.
“I wanted to do something that reflected my faith and who
Art Roundup
By CHRIS COUNTS
I am,” Neilson explained. “I like to paint, and I came up with
a very abstract angel. I sent it to my sister, and she said, ‘You
have found your voice.’”
Neilson’s paintings of angels have become so popular that
she has little time to explore other subjects with her brush and
easel.
“The demand for the angels series is so high I don’t have
time to do other work I like to do,” she explained. “Angels
really resonate with people. They have such an emotional
connection with them and are drawn to them on many different levels. It’s been such an amazing journey.”
In 2012, Neilson released her first book, “Angels In Our
Midst,” a coffee table-sized production that combined her artwork with stories about angels. A second book with a similar
theme, “Strokes of Compassion,” came out last year. Neilson
will sign copies of both books Friday.
Gallery Elite is located on San Carlos between Fifth and
Sixth. Call (831) 625-2233.
introduction to Bullas’ whimsical work, which often depicts
animals engaging in human behaviors, such as a dog sipping
a glass of wine, a gorilla trying on a pair of sunglasses, or a
pig dressed in a Roman toga and presiding over the games in
the Coliseum.
“I have 20 brand new pieces,” explained Bullas, who lives
in Carmel Valley. “While I typically work in watercolors, I
created these in acrylics, and each of the pieces is quite individual.”
Bullas describes his work as “drifting in and out of reality,
which my therapist confirms is a darn good thing for me,” he
added.
The gallery, which hosts a reception Thursday, June 4,
from 5 to 7 p.m., is located at San Carlos and Ninth. The show
will be on display through June 30.

Not-to-be-missed wine dinners, Monterey’s birthday BBQ, and a great volunteer
T
WO SPECIAL wine dinners are taking
place in town next week: La Balena will
present rare, hard-to-find Sardinian and
Tuscan wines during a five-course feast
Wednesday, June 3, and Grasing’s will host
an evening featuring storied Ruinart
Champagne June 4.
Working with the unusual lineup of
Italian wines, La Balena chef Brad Briske
said Wednesday he’s planning on making
carpaccio, a pair of hearty pastas with differ-
He looks the part. Sabastiano Rosa will be at La
Balena to share his Sardinian wines Wednesday.
ent sauces and ingredients, and a whole animal for the main course.
“I’ll do a veggie pasta and a meat pasta
that focus on different sauces, and for the last
course, some kind of big, roasty meat —
more whole-animal cuts, more primal,” he
said, to go with the white wine and “three big
reds.”
An Evening with Sebastiano Rosa — featuring the Sardinian wines of Agricola
Punica (a collaboration of a few major forces
in the Italian winemaking world)
and Marchese Ludovico Antinori’s Tenuta di
Biserno in Tuscany — promises to include
some impressive offerings.
Anna Bartolini, who owns the small
Junipero Street restaurant with her husband,
Emanuele, said the white wine, a blend of
Vermentino and Chardonnay, hasn’t been
released yet, and the lineup will also include
Carignan-based blends. Marchese Lodovico
Antinori, who sold his renowned
estate, Tenuta dell’Ornellaia, in 2002,
launched Tenuta di Biserno with his brother,
Piero Antinori, in 2012. Il Pino and Biserno,
two wines to be included at the June 3 dinner, are described as “unique Super Tuscan
blends with depth, intensity, complexity and
elegance.”
The evening, which costs $105 per person, plus tax and tip, will also offer a preview of the cuisine Briske plans to offer at
La Balena after its new sister restaurant, Il
Grillo, opens soon in the former pastry shop
at Mission and Fifth. While the pastas and
other well known La Balena items will be
moved there, more intricate, handmade dishes and whole-animal cooking will take place
at La Balena.
“A lot of our classic stuff that we’re
known for here, we’re going to serve up the
island grill
street,” he said, referring to Il Grillo. “And
this place will focus on more intricate, handtended and smaller dishes.”
Call (831) 250-6295 for more information or reservations. La Balena is located on
the west side of Junipero north of Sixth.
The following night a couple of blocks away, Grasing’s
at Sixth and Mission will host
Dom Ruinart winemaker
Amelie Chatin and U.S. sales
director Megan Gordon for an
evening of celebrating bubbly.
Founded in 1729 by Nicholas
Ruinart, Ruinart is the oldest established
Champagne house in France, and Chatin and
Gordon will be sharing some of their very
limited wines, according to sommelier Toby
Rowland-Jones.
The lineup includes two vintage
Champagnes: 2002 Blanc de Blancs and
2004 Rosé. Vintages in Champagne are
unusual, as they are only made when the
year’s harvest is superlative enough to stand
on its own, rather than requiring blending in
wines from other, stronger years.
Accompanying those will be the non-vintage
Blanc de Blancs and Rosé poured from magnums, all paired with chef Kurt Grasing’s
cuisine, including abalone.
Tickets for the evening are $160, inclusive. For more information, call Grasing’s at
(831) 624-6562.
n La Merienda preview
After 45 years, former Monterey Mayor
Peter Coniglio is passing the tongs to restaurateur Chris Shake as he becomes chairman
of the La Merienda BBQ Committee. La
Merienda is the City of Monterey’s birthday
party, and the celebration is set for 11:15
a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 6, at Custom
House Plaza. The event marks the anniversary of the founding of Monterey in June
1770 by Junipero Serra and Capt. Gaspar de
Portola.
The 84th Annual Monterey History & Art
Association’s La Merienda will include the
special barbecue, mariachis, piñatas and the
“Californio” party in the historic Memory
Garden. “La Merienda” means “picnic” in
Spanish, and the celebration centers around a
barbecue prepared and served by community
leaders and local chefs.
The menu includes a choice of tri-tip or
chicken, salad, beans, garlic bread and
dessert — a rose-adorned cake. La Merienda
planning committee member Anne Burk said
she will be preparing nine-layer dips in mar-
soup to nuts

garita glasses. “The kicker is that I use Gus
Arriola’s guacamole recipe that was printed
in the ‘Gordo’ comic strip in
newspapers circa 1961,” she added.
MH&AA has hosted the party, which
includes attendees in period costume, for the
last 84 years, and all proceeds benefit
Monterey’s history and arts programs. For
more information and to purchase tickets,
visit www.museumofmonterey.org or call
(831) 372-4445.
n Chaney Volunteer of the Year
The Santa Lucia Highlands Wine Artisans
selected Stefani Chaney of Scheid Vineyards
to receive the inaugural Josh Lee Award for
service to the group. The first Volunteer of
the Year was named at the association’s annual gala earlier this month, when board president Gary Franscioni cited Chaney’s efforts
in promoting the AVA, which is best known
for its Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Franscioni credited her with sharing her
time and knowledge, and her efforts to bring
in local industry and restaurant partners to
help with outreach. “She has helped to make
our public and trade events successful,
reflecting the association’s values and the
quality of our wines,” he said. “Stefani is one
of our group’s most important ambassadors.”
The award is named for the late son of
Morgan Winery owner Dan Lee. Josh Lee
died in January at the age of 19, and the
award was created “to honor the memory of
Mr. Lee’s positive attitude and hardworking
support of SLH Wine Artisans events.”

Editorial
Why we hate the lottery
T
HIS WEEK the other newspapers in the county and all the TV stations
eagerly reported that a Salinas man won $2.7 million in the California lottery.
We wish that gentleman well, but if you’re a sharp-eyed reader of this newspaper, you’ll not only notice that we haven’t mentioned this local lottery story in
our news pages, you’ll also realize that we never report a single word about the
lottery. In fact, while other news media are always getting all starry eyed over
powerball this and scratcher that, gushing over the size of the newest jackpot, or
bombarding you with the latest winning numbers, we act like the lottery doesn’t
exist. We ignore it because we hate it.
We don’t hate it because we’re against gambling. If you enjoy spending your
money on a game you can’t win, be our guest. At the very least, gambling generates a lot of jobs — as in, practically the whole State of Nevada.
We’re also not against the lottery because the money it was supposed to provide for schools has simply been offset by reductions in budget allocations for
the schools from the state Legislature.
Nor are we against it because people who buy lottery tickets are usually the
people who can least afford them. Sure, it makes us uncomfortable to see people
who are just one rung above homelessness waiting in lines at liquor stores and
7-Elevens to spend their scarce greenbacks on something that will never benefit
them. Even the poor, we think, are entitled to exercise their own free will.
The reason we hate the lottery is that it’s the worst form of gambling invented
by man, with odds of winning that are far worse than anything in Las Vegas, or
even anything that the most corrupt bookie ever tried to pawn off on his customers.
To understand why, consider roulette. It’s a mindless form of gambling which
involves no skill whatsoever. People who play it are 100 percent at the mercy of
immutable principles of random chance and can do nothing to change them —
but at least when they play it’s obvious (or should be) what those odds are.
When the ball falls on a roulette wheel, there are 38 possible outcomes, and
the payoff for picking the right one is 35 to 1. Because of the various types of
bets available on roulette tables, overall payoffs are actually smaller, and it is
well established that, over the long haul, winnings will average 95 percent of
what is bet, while the house’s take will be 5 percent (which may not seem like
much, but it’s enough to build all those hotels on The Strip). Put another way, if
you spend your life playing roulette, at the end you’ll be left with 95 percent of
whatever you bet, and so will everybody else.
This number, which is similar for most of the games in Las Vegas, tells all
you really need to know about what to expect when you play roulette.
But what about the lottery? In California, about 35 percent of what’s spent on
lottery tickets goes to a fund for the public schools, and 15 percent goes for overhead and advertising. What’s left — about 50 percent — is distributed as winnings, which means that if you play the lottery long enough, you can count on
being left with 50 percent of whatever you bet.
Get the picture? The inevitable return from playing the lottery is just a little
better than half of what you’ll be left with if you spend your life playing roulette.
Nevertheless, the State of California is constantly bombarding its citizens
with snappy ads that make it sound like the lottery is a great deal.
“You can’t win if you don’t play!” is a slogan we’ve all seen on billboards and
heard on TV and radio at least a million times. “The California Lottery makes
millionaires!” brags its website, alongside stories of people who have been rescued from their miseries thanks to the munificence of the wonderful lottery. The
lottery website is replete with tips on how to play, constantly repeats the words
“lucky” and “win,” and offers a bevy of seductively named products for you to
choose from.
All this PR is meant to lure you into spending your money by convincing you
that winning is just around the corner — without mentioning that the odds of
winning the lottery are far worse than any other form of gambling.
In other words, the lottery is based on a lie, and the government is telling it.
And that is why, no matter what the other media choose to do, you’ll never
see anything in The Carmel Pine Cone about the California lottery.

Snakes at city hall?
Dear Editor,
Too bad the police and animal control
officer pictured on the front page last week
could not take their wrangling skills to city
hall and get rid of the snakes there. That
would be far superior to having the taxpayers
foot the bill for paying them to leave.
Peter Mathews, Pebble Beach
The importance of knowing
what kind of snake it is
Dear Editor,
The front page photo of two Carmel
police officers grappling with a large snake
last week brought back vivid memories of
my middle school science teaching days in
the Berryessa School District. It was there I
frequently took my students on nature walks
in nearby Alum Rock Park.
Unfortunately, the photo failed to high-
light this snake’s markings and coloration,
which would easily identify it as a harmless
native reptile. As an naturalist, I believe
every law enforcement agency in Monterey
County should carry a couple of pocketsized inexpensive references books in their
patrol cars. One is a handy reference
authored by Arthur C. Smith entitled “The
Natural History of the San Francisco Bay
Region,” and its companion book is
“Reptiles and Amphibians of the San
Francisco Bay Region,” by Robert G.
Stebbins. Both of these easily readable field
guides have colored illustrations of most all
of the common vertebrates found in central
California.
The reptile in question in The Pine Cone
article was no doubt a common gopher snake
(Pituophis catenifer). According to Stebbins,
it is one of our most beneficial snakes
because it has a diet of undesirable rodents,
including gophers. Gopher snakes are good
snakes and should be highly protected. If a
person unwittingly kills gopher snakes
which coexist in the same habitat as rattlesnakes, he may be helping the rattlers
because the two snakes eat and depend on
the same types of food.
When disturbed, a gopher snake may
vibrate the tip of its tail, especially in dry
leaves making a sound that remotely resembles the rattle of a rattlesnake. It is best not to
handle gopher snakes as they can bite, but
they are not dangerous to humans, nor are
they poisonous.
The Monterey Peninsula has a diversity of
wildlife which should be appreciated, protected and preserved.

A family history that’s
really worth remembering
E
RIC SAND hooks a leash to the narrow collar on his miniature poodle, who
waits impatiently to head out on their morning walk along the trails outside their Carmel
Valley home. As he looks up to the palisades
dappled by early light, Sand remembers the
many boyhood summers spent wandering the
hills with his younger brother, Toland Sand,
now one of the most innovative glass artists
in the world. And he
remembers how he
reached his “holy
grail” at age 12,
when he and his
brother finally blazed
a trail up to the fire
tower atop Garland
Ranch. From there,
he could see all the
way to the ocean. It
was then that he
understood the concept of the “big picture.”
Sand has always
been a broad-view,
Eric Sand
forward
thinking
kind of guy; someone
with ideas and aspirations, visions and plans.
He spent his early years in Carmel, where he
imagined he just might live out his life, but
then his father, John Wright Sand, joined the
Diplomatic Corps, and moved the family to
Washington, D.C, followed by Taiwan and
Greece.
After completing high school at the
American Academy in Athens, Sand
returned to the Monterey Peninsula, as he
promised himself he would, and attended
Monterey Peninsula College before going on
to study computer science at UCLA. His
career led him to Hewlett-Packard in Palo
Alto as a software engineer. Yet his sights
were, once again, set on returning to the
Peninsula. A position at the
Naval Postgraduate School in
Monterey, followed by his
appointment as director of
management information systems at the Monterey County
Office of Education, brought
him home.
After Sand’s return to the place where
four generations of Sands preceded him —
beginning with family in Big Sur in the
1870s — coupled with a perspective that
sharpens, he says, once you pass 50 or 60,
the future-focused man has begun to look
back on the lives of those who came to
Carmel before him. His mother, Nancy Sand,
is a Carmel sculptor. His maternal grandfather, Donald Hale, worked in real estate with
his paternal grandfather, Harold Sand, who
established H.O. Sand Realty in Carmel
Valley Village in 1946. Eric continues to
operate the company in the same building, as
Eric H. Sand Real Estate.
Sand’s great-grandfather, California journalist Frederick R. Bechdolt, who wrote for
The Saturday Evening Post, later wrote fiction and non-fiction books with western
themes, among them, “When the West was
Young.” After settling in Carmel in the early
1900s, he became active in the community as
a member of the “Carmel Bunch” of writers.
“I only got this perspective on
my local ancestors about 10 years
ago,” says Sand. “My mother was
creating a family tree, and suddenly
all this history came into my awareness. As the story goes, my greatgrandfather Bechdolt used to charge
at Carmel stores until he sold his
next book and could pay everybody
back. Another great-grandfather,
Martin Hilby, developed Seaside in
the 1920s. Great-grandfather
Benjamin Wright was an early
mayor of Monterey. And great
grandfather Lester Hale was a
Carmel cabinet maker and fine art
painter. It’s been fun to hear what
was important to my ancestors and
how their lives influenced this area I
love.”
Sand’s passion for preserving the history
and culture of this area has led him to a 30year involvement with the Monterey History
and Art Association, through which he
serves as chairman of La Merienda. Now in
its 84th year, this annual celebration of
Monterey history, which means “picnic” in
Spanish, will commemorate Monterey’s
245th birthday with a party in the historic
Memory Garden at Custom House Plaza on
the first Saturday in June.
“La Merienda was founded by E.
Charlton Fortune, Armin Hansen and others
committed to honoring Monterey, and led to
the establishment of the Monterey History
Great Lives
By LISA CRAWFORD WATSON
and Art Association,” Sand says. “Families
have been coming for decades, and it brings
out 450 to 600 participants. It is a wonderful
celebration of Monterey — what it was and
what it is, and those who have made it so.”
Sand, whose five sons, including triplets,
are grown, continues to live in Carmel Valley
with his wife Patricia Sand, a librarian at
Harrison Memorial Library in Carmel, and
their poodle, Yoshi.
And when he isn’t selling homes or honoring local heritage, Sand likes to ride his
Ducati motorcycle out into the valley, or
wander the same trails he traversed as a boy.

Drought forecast: Fat chance of showers
T
HANKS TO the water shortage, I’m
bathing like royalty. I read that way back in
the sixteenth century, Britain’s first Queen
Elizabeth took a bath only once a month. So
if it was good enough for her, it ought to be
good enough for me.
But these days, bathing once a month
doesn’t pass the smell test. So I’m reverting
to my childhood. Back then we took a bath
every Saturday whether we needed it or not.
Mom had her own grey water system. A
wash tub. She heated water on the coal stove.
One tub of water was good for all six of us.
Grown-ups went first, then kids from oldest
to youngest. When they said, “Don’t throw
the baby out with the bath water,” they meant
it. By the time it was my turn the bath water
was murkier than the finances at Carmel
City Hall.
I didn’t put a toe in clear
water until I joined the Marine
Corps. Boot camp showers
were shorter than the haircuts.
Wet down, soap up, rinse off.
Hup, tup, trip, finished.
My
first
rental
in
Manhattan was an efficiency apartment. No
superfluous amenities such as hot water. I
learned that the best thing about a cold shower is getting out of it.
When I finally moved up to hot, steamy
showers you couldn’t pry me out. That’s
when I realized I could sing like Caruso.
Except when somebody flushed a toilet in
another part of the house. Then I sang like
Tiny Tim.
But my singing days are over. My latest
bath was a tempest in a teapot. It’s hard to
work up a good Caruso in a cup of water
with 8 cubic feet of bubbles. Still, a relaxing
soak in an inch of water does wonders for the
tension in your toenails.
Sponge baths remind me of my mother,
who used to say, “Wash up as far as possible.
Then wash down as far as possible. Then
wash possible.”
It also reminds me of my investment guy
who keeps saying, “Buy stock in deodorant.”
After years of water cutbacks, the
Monterey Peninsula is used to scrimping on
H20. We use less per person than most areas
of California. Our motto is: Conserve Water
— Don’t Wash.
Except in Carmel Valley Village. Their
motto is: Conserve Water — Drink Wine.
They’re busy converting all the shower stalls
in town into tasting rooms. Drinking enough
wine takes your mind off the drought. Body
odor is a question of mind over matter — if
you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.
The only people on the Peninsula who are
truly clean are the tourists. Hotels have soaking tubs and rain showers for out-of-towners.
They’re the only ones whose aroma doesn’t
precede them.
Meanwhile, locals are starting to smell as
ripe as last year’s Roquefort. If you’re a resi-
dent who doesn’t think you’re aromatic, it’s
because you’re getting used to the odor. Or
else you’re cheating.
New water rules encourage people to turn
in their neighbors for using too much water
outdoors. But what about neighbors who
smell shower fresh? This could be the new
front in the coming water wars — reporting
people who don’t have body odor.
Some clever new drought-busting ideas
might help. A waterless car wash just opened
in Palo Alto. And a restaurant in Big Sur is
blasting dirty dishes with an air hose. What
we really need is an air hose that can blast
away B.O.
Memo to Silicon Valley: Forget the fitness watches. How about an app for a waterless bath? (If you need venture capital I’ll
Wilde Times

contribute the money I’m saving on soap and
shampoo.) Until then. we’ll have to take a tip
from earlier generations. They knew how to
create the illusion of hygiene.
Aristocrats in the court of Louis XIV
were expert at masking honest odors.
Dousing themselves with perfume. Waving
around scented hankies. Burying their noses
in little bunches of fragrant flowers called
nosegays.
I realize that flowers won’t help us
because they need water. But why not repurpose those overpowering fragrance ads that
perfumigate magazines? If you see me walking around town with a Macy’s mailer under
each arm you’ll know why.
We jest, but the drought puts a strain on
everybody.
Mary and I are planning a vacation. We’d
like to go someplace where we can take a
decent shower. The city of Bath, England
sounds like a possibility.
A reader in Pacific Grove says she’s so
stressed out by water restrictions she bought
a pet monkey to cheer herself up. Her husband wasn’t thrilled. “What are we going to
do with a monkey?” he asked.
“He’ll make us laugh,” she said. “We can
dress him up and take him out for walks.”
“But where’s he going to sleep?” the husband asked.
“In bed with us,” she told him.
“And what about the smell?”
She said, “If I can get used to it after all
these years, so can the monkey.”

CHS students win local
film festival awards
FIVE CARMEL High School students were honored May
27 at the first-ever Monterey Peninsula Student Film Festival.
Hosted by Carmel High, the contest featured entries from
Carmel, Monterey, Pacific Grove and Marina high school
students.
Thomas Jones received the Best Documentary prize for
the film, “Making the Grade.” Hans Vogeli’s “My Watch is
Off ” was recognized as the Best Open Format Film. And
Thomas Jones, Natascha Togan, and Noa Daniels, the creators of “Afterlife,” took home the trophy for Best Narrative
Film.
The films were by evaluated by independent professionals
in the film industry.
TOILETS

each pit would fill up with human waste in about a year —
as long as hikers don’t dump their trash in them. After a year,
each hole will covered with earth and the toilet moved to
another location nearby.
Three toilets are now located at Sykes Camp, two at
Barlow Flat Camp (about eight miles in), two at Terrace
Creek Camp and two at Ventana Camp (about four miles in).
Benoit told The Pine Cone he’s thrilled the project is finally completed. “We’re pretty happy,” he said. “We hope the
toilets will help reduce toilet paper and human waste in the
camps, along the trail, and along the river. We’re hoping this
is going to make a difference.”
In addition to VWA volunteers, installing the toilets also
relied on about 25 volunteers from Cal State Monterey Bay
and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.
“They were a good bunch of kids,” Benoit added. “They
worked really hard and enjoyed themselves.”

Nearly all of the team’s top players are set to return next

competitive. It’s unclear, though, if Murphy will be back,
because of his commitment to the United States Navy. “I
won’t know for a few months,” added Murphy, a lieutenant
who works at the Naval Postgraduate School. “My future is in

records reviewed in developing the investigative report”
attorney Stephanie Atigh presented to the council on May 5
regarding contracts signed during former city administrator
Jason Stilwell’s tenure.
He also requested “any and all interview notes and any
and all materials that were reviewed in formulating the investigative report,” documentation of the qualifications of residents Carolina Bayne and Caroline Hardy to aid in the contract review, any reports or findings they generated, and correspondence between the investigator and the two women.
Further, he wanted a list of individuals interviewed for
Atigh’s report.
Then, on May 26, he sent another email containing 23
separate requests for additional records, including “all

messages and any and all
other writings” between forA request

between Aug. 1, 2014, and

He also added a request
nobody seems to be able to
figure out, stating that he “watched the city council meeting
of May 5 and heard the mayor comment on the city administrator running business decisions by The Pine Cone newspaper reporter,” and asked for all written correspondence
between city administrator Doug Schmitz (misspelled as
“Schmidt”) and reporter Mary Schley and publisher Paul
Miller “regarding city business” between Nov. 1, 2014, and
May of this year.
However, neither Schmitz nor council members who
responded to inquiries from The Pine Cone remember that
comment being made, and it doesn’t make sense that it would
be said, except in jest.
Nevertheless, Duncan asked for any correspondence
between Schmitz and Burnett regarding supplying information to The Pine Cone and other newspapers, as well as “the
rules adopted by the city council that allow the newspaper to
weigh in or offer advice on the city’s operation.”
Then he requested the documents describing the roles and
responsibilities of the city council, mayor, city administrator
and city attorney.
Back on the subject of Atigh (which he misspelled,
“Atig”), he demanded her resume or other documents
describing her qualifications as an attorney and investigator,
in addition to “documents that show the applications for
employment, commission appointments or special task
force/projects” submitted by Bayne and Hardy between June
2013 and May of this year.
“Please provide documents showing complaints made
about Carolina Bayne and her requests for special mail delivery services over that last 15 years,” he continued, before
then requesting “the names of all vendors the city has done
business with during the Burnett Era. Please include the
related contracts and bid documents.”
Duncan also asked for all correspondence between
Burnett and “each member to the city council,” namely,
Victoria Beach, Steve Dallas, Steve Hillyard (misspelled as
“Hilliard”), Carrie Theis and Ken Talmage, and between
Burnett and Stilwell, during the same period of time.

Then, he requested writings between Beach and former
Mayor Sue McCloud (misspelled, “MacLoud”) “regarding
city personnel Stilwell, director Paul, director Mullane,
director Calhoun, director Friedrichsen, Deanna Allen and or

Next, Duncan changed direction, asking for “documentation of the bid process for the centennial logo and the related
contract,” regarding the 2016 city centennial being planned
by McCloud, Livingston and retired businessman Merv
Sutton, and for contracts with “Fire Protection Services,
including the scope of work, deliverables, service providers
and their rates, from July 1, 2003, through June 30, 2014,” as

respiratory system, and has therefore been the target of airquality monitoring for a number of years. State standards put
the maximum annual average at 12 micrograms per cubic
meter of air, while federal EPA standards are an annual average of 15 micrograms per cubic meter and a 24-hour average
of 35 micrograms per cubic meter.
Stedman said the spikes in particles over the weekend didn’t amount to a violation, because they averaged out to lower
than the threshold amount over a 24-hour period, but the
summer might tell a different story.
“In the summer when the weather is still, I anticipate
we’re going to see a serious problem there, to indicate that
people living along there are probably experiencing
unhealthful air,” he said. “We do know air quality degrades
along Scenic due to beach fires.”
Testing will continue at least through the summer months,
when beach use is at its highest and fires are numerous.
“It’s not surprising to me that there’s an issue down there,
because we’ve received lots of complaints,” Stedman said.
“And I’ve personally experienced it.”
Violating the federal standard would require installation
of an EPA-approved monitor for longer-term testing and
could cost the city local control of its beach, likely resulting
in an outright ban on fires, city councilman Ken Talmage,
who also serves on the air board, has said. With its pilot program, city officials have said they are hoping to mitigate the
smoke factor enough to keep the area below that critical
threshold.
holding tank — called a “wet well” — where sewage collects
while waiting to be forwarded to Marina. The maintenance
involved applying a coating to the tank to prevent corrosion
caused by the gases present in sewage.
“The pump station will not resume normal operation
today or tomorrow because the wet well work is still in
progress,” Boatman said. “The earliest we will have the wet
well available for normal operation would be Saturday.”
Boatman also added more details to the explanation of
how the spill happened.
“To accommodate work in the wet well, pumps were set
up to pump around the station,” he said.
But a valve that was apparently not seated properly
allowed sewage to flow backward to the main pipe, where it
leaked because it was temporarily disconnected from the wet
well.
The spill, the cleanup and subsequent work likely costs
thousands of dollars; however, the MRWPCA is still tallying
up the bill. Boatman also said the inquiry into the spill, called
an incident review, has begun.
